Wang, an engineer and author, discusses decision making under risk and uncertainty in cellular manufacturing. He outlines the current state of existing methods used in the handling of the
bottleneck machines and parts problem, which results in cellular manufacturing system design to build products using as little waste as possible; sequence-based cellular manufacturing for the
machine cell formation step and tools for structuring problems, describing uncertainty, assessing risks, and reaching decisions; cellular manufacturing and jidoka (autonomation);
bottom-line-based cellular manufacturing that aims for profit maximization; the performance evaluation and robust design of cellular manufacturing systems; and networked cellular manufacturing
systems and their risk engineering. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
